NORRIS of MD and NC

Have a hint that my NORRIS line may have been in MD before coming to NC. William Sr, b.?, d.Dec 1834 in Person Co NC. His son William Jr, b.?, d.Aug 1834, also in Person Co. Senior was married to a Mary ? who d. in 1840. William Jr's wife was my g+grandmother, Sarah HAWKINS, whose father was Ephraim HAWKINS who was born in Baltimore Co MD in 1761. William Jr and Sarah NORRIS named one of their sons Ephraim. The NORRIS and HAWKINS families settled almost withing sight of each other in Person Co. Any information, hints, or guesses, welcomed. Been searching for my NORRIS ancestors for 35-40 years. TIA Charlie Weaver, Winston-Salem, NCpatchas@triad.rr.com
